Avalon/South Shore TIF

Designation: 2002 Expiration: 2026

Located along 79th Street and portions of Vincennes and Exchange avenues, the Avalon Park/South Shore TIF district was established to create a cohesive and vibrant area that provides a comprehensive range of commercial and retail uses. Encompassing 103 acres in the Avalon Park and South Shore communities, the district's specific goals include pedestrian-friendly sidewalk improvements along the 79th Street shopping corridors and at the 79th Street Metra station. The district also was designed to provide developer assistance for various mixed-use projects, to support projects that provide off-street parking for visitors, residents and workers, and to assist efforts that create jobs and improve safety within the community.
